>>> AS KAMALA HARRIS GAVE THE MOST IMPORTANT POLITICAL SPEECH OF HER LIFE THIS WEEK, WE KNOW ONE PERSON WAS WATCHING VERY CLOSELY. HIS NAME IS DJ TRON. DONALD TRUMP DID NOT LIKE WHAT HE HEARD. WHILE ALL OF THIS WAS GOING ON, YOU SAW HIM HAVE THIS RAMBLING REAL-TIME REACTION ONLINE. HE WAS AN ASSISTANT COACH, ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING. HE CALLED INTO FOX NEWS TO COMPLAIN. THEY ACTUALLY HAD TO CUT HIM OFF. THEN HE CALLED NEWSMAX, WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THIS? >> HE HAS HAD A LOT -- EVEN THOUGH HE LOST, IN 2016 HE MADE IT HAPPEN. HE FELT HE WAS IN MUCH BETTER SAKE BEFORE BIDEN DROPPED OUT. I THINK HE IS DESPERATELY GRASPING AT ANYTHING TO STOP THE MOMENTUM. THERE WAS THINKING THAT IT WOULD BE A HONEYMOON, THE HONEYMOON KEEPS GOING. WE ARE FIVE WEEKS OF HONEYMOON OUT IT'S NOT A VERY LONG CYCLE. SHE KEEPS GOING UP IN THE POLLS. I THINK THAT HE PANICKED? REPUBLICANS GAVE AWAY ALL OF THESE THINGS. THE GIVEAWAY PATRIOTISM. THEY GAVE AWAY THE FLAG. THEY TOOK THIS VERY DARK VISION AND RAN WITH IT. IS NOT THAT DEMOCRATS ARE STEALING IT FROM THEM, IT WAS ON THE FIELD FOR THEM TO TAKE. I MEAN, HE IS ALL OVER THE PLACE. >> DONALD TRUMP COULD'VE CHOSEN NIKKI HALEY SIX WEEKS AGO. THEY WOULD HAVE LOCKED DOWN A LOT OF UNDECIDED OR INDEPENDENT VOTERS. INSTEAD HE CHOSE JD VANCE. RIGHT BEFORE HARRIS SPOKE, DONALD TRUMP MADE WHAT WAS PROBABLY THE CLOSEST THING YOU WILL EVER SEE IN TERMS OF A PUBLIC APOLOGY TO BRIAN KEMP. THIS GUY HAS BEEN SLAMMING HIM OVER AND OVER FOR YEARS. HE SAID HE IS DISLOYAL. HE SAID HE WOULD NOT GO ALONG WITH DONALD TRUMP'S EFFORTS TO OVERTURN THE ELECTION. NOW DONALD TRUMP IS PUBLICLY THANKING HIM FOR HIS SUPPORT. IS HE GETTING WORRIED ABOUT GEORGIA? >> YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A SLEW TO KNOW THAT HIS INTERNAL POLLING IN GEORGIA IS SHOWING HE HAS A PROBLEM THERE. FOR HIM TO GO OUT TO APOLOGIZE TO BRIAN KEMP. HE HAS BEEN SLAMMING THE GUY AND HIS WIFE FOR YEARS NOW. THE LAST TIME GOING AFTER HIS WIFE, AFTER BRIAN KEMP WON REELECTION AFTER DONALD TRUMP OPPOSING HIM, THE LAST TIME YOU HAD MODERATE REPUBLICAN VOTERS IN GEORGIA TURNED OFF ONCE AGAIN AND LOCKED IN MOVING AWAY FROM HIM. HE HAD BEEN COUNTING ON JOE BIDEN TO BE HIS BEST ADVERTISEMENT WITH THE MODERATE REPUBLICANS, AND GEORGIA VOTERS. NOW HE HAS A PROBLEM BECAUSE HARRIS IS NOT JOE BIDEN. FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS, MORE APPEAL. HIS INTERNAL POLLING SHOWS HE HAS A PROBLEM. PUBLIC POLLING SHOWS THAT GEORGIA IS CLOSER THAN IT WAS. WE WILL SEE IF HE GETS ON HIS KNEES AND BEGS ANYONE ELSE FOR FORGIVENESS IN THE NEXT COUPLE MONTHS? >> THE HATERS WHO ARE SICK OF TRUMP AND BIDEN, NOW THERE'S ONLY ONE HATER IN THAT SCENARIO. NOT JOE BIDEN. RFK JUANNY ROMERO. SAID HE'S RUNNING , ENDING HIS RUN AND ENDORSING DONALD TRUMP. WHAT KIND OF IMPACT DO YOU THINK IT WILL HAVE ON THE RACE? >> THESE GUYS ARE GREAT THAT FOLLOWS. WE HAVE DEAD BEARS BEING DROPPED OFF IN PARKS. THIS WILL HELP DONALD TRUMP CONVINCE AND CONSOLIDATE SOME OF THE FRINGE VOTERS. MEANWHILE, THERE ARE A LOT OF VOTERS OUT THERE STILL LOOKING FOR THEIR HOME. A LOT OF VOTERS WHO ARE NOT NECESSARILY RFK SUPPORTERS. THEY ARE LOOKING TO FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH KAMALA HARRIS OR SOME OTHER CANDIDATE. DONALD TRUMP OR SOMEONE ELSE. THIS MAY HELP IN SOME WAYS, BUT THIS BIZARRE WORLD THEY ARE COALESCING TOGETHER. WE WILL SEE? >> HEIDI, WHEN DEMOCRATS WERE IN CHICAGO, DONALD TRUMP WAS CAMPAIGNING AND DOING INTERVIEWS. HE SAID HE DOES NOT NEED MORE VOTERS. HE ONLY NEEDS TO MAKE SURE DEMOCRATS DO NOT CHEAP. CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE STRATEGY? OBVIOUSLY HAS BASE IS NOT ENOUGH TO WIN. THE FACT THAT HE'S PUSHING THE IDEA THAT DEMOCRATS ARE CHEATING -- IF HE DOESN'T LIKE THE RESULTS OF THE ELECTION, HE WILL CALL FOUL NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS? >> ABSOLUTELY. HE'S SETTING IT UP LIKE HE DID IN 2020, THE ONLY WAY THE ELECTION IS FAIR IS IF I WIN. HE IS A VERY DANGEROUS PERSON. IF HE THINKS THAT IS A WINNING STRATEGY FOR HIM, EVEN IF HE BELIEVES THAT, HE IS WRONG. PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF IT. HE LOST MOJO. HE LOST HIS MOMENTUM. HE IS GRASPING AT STRAWS. HE CANNOT BELIEVE HE WOULD EVER LOSE. THE OTHER THING I WANT TO SAY, HE WAS NOT JUST LISTENING TO WHAT WAS SAID, HE WAS WATCHING WHAT WAS HAPPENING. YOU SAW THE ENERGY AND USEFULNESS. YOU SAW THE PRODUCTION VALUE OF THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION LOOKING HAPPENING AND FUN. THEN YOU TURN TO THE REPUBLICANS WERE IT LOOKS LIKE A POLITICAL CONVENTION THAT YOU PROBABLY WOULD NOT WANT TO ATTEND. HE KNOWS THAT THE IMAGES THAT ARE COMING OUT OF THE CONVENTIONS, AND HE DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO STOP THE ROLE IN KAMALA'S DIRECTION. THAT'S WHY HE'S DOING THESE THINGS AND SETTING US UP. THAT IS THE MOST DANGEROUS THING THAT HE HAS SAID SINCE THE CAMPAIGN BEGAN. THAT HE DOESN'T NEED PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR HIM. HE JUST NEEDS TO MAKE SURE
